Yes, first world problem. But why is it always down? I understand that they have to clean it, but so do all the other fast food places and theirs don't always seem to be "out of order."

they arent "down"

They ran out of the mixture and they have to pour bags of cream mixure back into the machine and have to wait until it freezes

Because in the small town of Brenham, Texas McDonald's is the only one that has a decent playground for a 2 year old.

OP is right.

If we have 8 MCDs around town or whatever, on any given day at least 2-3 of them will have machines that are broken. Usually this applies to the Frappe machines as well. Although as someone noted above, I think sometimes they say "Broken" instead of "we don't have the mixture today" for those.

Our local McDonald's are still on a limited menu from Harvey. The quarter pounder is on the menu. I ordered a double quarter pounder and blew their mind.

McD- Sorry sir, we are on a limited menu and can't make that.
Me- Can you just throw another piece of meat on the single burger?
McD- No, we are on a limited menu.
Me- Can I get 2 singles, one hold the bread and put the meat on the other?
McD- No we can't do that
Me- just give me 2 quarter pounders and I'll do it myself
McD- Ok, is that it?

And these people want $15 an hour.....There is probably a 100% chance they spit in my food.

They were likely told they can't sell double patty burgers. Seems simple enough to understand.

I can't even remember the last time I walked into a McDonalds, let alone be upset that they can't give me McDonalds food. If I ordered food at a Mcdonalds, and they me they couldn't give it to me, I would thank them and walk out the door relieved that didn't actually eat that *****

At least people where you live know how to spell. Around here they write "Borken."

I know but that doesn't fit the thread so I made an alternate fact.

Besides, his switch to powdered ice cream tell us the company thieving ******* doesn't give a damn about the ice cream or whether OP gets any.

I fail to see how this qualifies as a first world problem.

How to find a working ice cream machine

there is an ongoing fight between Mcdonalds corporate and the franchise owners. Corporate wants the franchise owner to use their maintainer and the franchise owners want to use a less expensive source.


This link will let you know if the machine is working.
